Using the old *Entry Plist approach what actually happened was that the DS declared as the parm was (under the covers) declared as BASED by the compiler and the pointer passed for the parm just assigned as its basing pointer. All that the pointerToDS = %addr(parmname); code is doing is the same thing that used to happen under the covers.

Quite why the compiler made this change is a mystery to me - I don't recall any discussions on the topic - and it may be something that can be changed in the future.
